Eel Open Sores
Anyone ever see sores on an eel like this? Can I catch it - Hope not. I wasn't about to not rig this beast.

Yup, lots of times. I'm not sure what it is but a few years ago I got ring worm on the side of my leg and the only thing I could relate it to was an eel with sores like you see in your pics had hit the side of my leg when I was transferring them to my big tank.

No boat, back in the suds.

I have used eels w/sores and thankfully, never gotten sick from the rash.
The rigged eel looks sweet!

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.
I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.
2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

The rigged eel has a few sores, hook inflicted
Many sores I always thought were from being in the tank with others, never thought of sores like that

When mine get crowded in keepers they tend to get those "bite "marks... IMHO, they come from rubbing against the inside of the keeper they are in... I've seen large eels eat ( tail sticking out of thier mouths)smaller ones on many ocasions when left in a keeper for exteneded amount of time...their noses also tend to get beat up causing what I term "weak beak" syndrome, which makes them suseptable to being cast into the horizen as live chum... |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

I've seen rashes and injuries from the tank/carrier too but these are perfectly round and all of them are raised. They bled pretty bad when I was rigging it. Mostly when inserting the rear hook.
Definitely going to pick up some surgical gloves before rigging more.

It's normal. Just don't put it in your azz or mouth and you should be fine

"Dr, it was a one in a million shot."
I've seen those sores but always assumed they were from eels biting each other. |

Can ringworm survive in salt water?

Did you consider that advice may have been beneficial to me last night when I grabbed the leper eel out of your bucket?
